When editing a map, how do you set a star system to be 'unexplored'?<br/>
Because I cannot see anything that toggles this anywhere, and the Empire Exploration tab in the editor does not appear to do anything at all.<br/>

I like the ship images ripped right from some Starsector mods, which haven't even have had the empty turret placeholders removed or covered up.
